"It is our memories that kill us." -In Memorium


I won't topple
your house of cards
carefully built
with patience and precision
level by level
Something as fragile
as porcelain
than can collapse
with a single exhale
I won't be the bull
to your china shop
display cases filled
with matching wares
shelf by shelf
Only the slightest
uncalculated move
could shatter the whole
into pieces
I won't extinguish
your roaring fire
with my tears
liquid vulnerability
fluid as smoke
Instead I'll add to
the inferno of potential
with logs of lust
and gentle prodding
